BIOL 113 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Reading Frame, Deoxyribose, Peptide
Document Summary
Complete this reading guide as you read the textbook pages listed above. You might not have to read every word on every page, rather pay close attention to the questions in this guide and answer them as you work through the textbook. Also pay close attention to the terms that are underlined: these are key terms that you should know the definitions of and be able to apply in new situations. Start at basic principles of transcription and translation on page 336. What does gene expression mean? (see page 334 for details) The process by which dna directs the synthesis of proteins. What are the differences between dna and rna (refer back to pages 84 to 87 if you want more details) Rna contains ribose instead of deoxyribose as its sugar and has the nitrogenous base uracil rather than thymine. Briefly describe how transcription results in the production of messenger rna (mrna).
